selected configuration can be retrieved and activated directly from the
card.
Like the other cards in the system, the CPU card fits in the Eclipse
Omega matrix. The card fits vertically in a six rack unit (6 RU) space
and connects to the matrix’s backplane.
One CPU card is required for each Eclipse Omega system. Two cards
can be installed to provide redundancy in the case of outages or repair
needs.
MVX-A16 Analog Port Card
An MVX-A16 analog port card controls the operation of panels and
interfaces connected to it. Panels and interfaces connect to the port
card through an RJ-45 connector or “port” on the matrix’s rear panel.
Shielded category-5 cable attaches the panel or interface to the RJ-45
connector.
The MVX-A16 analog port card sends balanced audio and RS-422
data signals to connected audio equipment through 4-pair shielded
category-5 cable. The card connects up to 16 audio devices—such as
intercom panels, interfaces, or 4-wire audio equipment—to the central
matrix. Each audio device connected to a port card communicates with
all other audio devices in the system and with the central matrix.
For intelligent linking, shielded category-5 cable is run from a port on
one Eclipse Omega matrix to a port on a second Eclipse Omega matrix
to form a trunkline connection.
E-FIB Fiber Interface
E-FIB fiber interfaces connect Eclipse matrices together to provide a
high speed, dual redundant link to transfer audio samples and data
between systems. These connections can be configured in various
ways to provide protection against the loss of a link or a node.
Each E-FIB fiber interface consists of a front card with various status
indicators and a rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic
connectors (TXVRA and TXVRB).
E-FIB interfaces should normally be fitted to slots 14 and/or 15 of the
Omega matrix (furthest away from the CPU cards).
E-QUE E1/T1 Interface
The E-QUE E1/T1 interface allows the Eclipse matrix to connect to
FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna
splitters. Each E-QUE interface consists of a front card with a reset
button and various status indicators, and a rear card with eleven RJ45
ports giving eight standard ports, DECT sync in and out and a LAN
port for diagnostic use.
